MORGAN BETZ, KEREN CYTTER, FRANK KOOLEN,
BENJAMIN MAYMAN, MARTIJN OLIE, DARAGH REEVES & SJOERD TIMAgainst the backdrop of a giant house of cards paintings,
collages, sculpture and video form an instable but fixed equilibrium. In a
process related manner these works comment, question and complement one another
creating a versatile but at the same time focused gesamtkunstwerk.

The seven artists studied together at De Ateliers in
Amsterdam from 2001-2004. In that period their work, or more specific the
attitude towards their work, was similar in approach: a direct, personal and
self-conscious approach towards the media and themes they choose. Now, seven
years later, it's time to meet again and see if these similarities still exist.
